After experiencing the miscarriage and enduring two rounds of IVF treatment, the mom of daughter Vale, 7, whom she shares with husband Michael Feldman, decided to be grateful for the many blessings already in her life, adding:
Thankfully, everything eventually worked out and Savannah welcomed a son named Charley, now 5. But the road to becoming a family of four was far from easy. She now credits her mother for helping her navigate the ups-and-downs of her fertility issues, saying:
Hoda, who has openly struggled with her own fair share of fertility issues after battling breast cancer, expressed a similar sadness around the possibility that becoming a mother wasn’t in the cards, telling the outlet:
She has since adopted two little girls, Haley, 5, and Hope, 3, whom she shares with her ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman. Surprisingly, it was Sandra Bullock who inspired her to consider adoption! The journalist shared:
